Our relationship grew stronger and soon he introduced me to his family and friends, including his older brother, Blake.
However, on our wedding day, everything unraveled. When Devon received news that Tracy had returned, he left me standing at the altar and ran to Tracy to marry her without hesitation.
At that moment, I realized that, in our four years together, not once had he truly let go of her. Yet, I had not realized that the person who considered Tracy as his first love was not just Devon. All this time when Devon waited for Tracy to return, Blake was also waiting silently for her.
I stared coldly at Tracy, my voice icy as I spoke to her, "You should address me as sister-in-law."
Tracy froze. She was taken aback by my words. Blake immediately stepped in front of her protectively. He then chided me, "Julie, she’s just trying to bond with you. Must you blow things out of proportion?”
Then he said helplessly, "Forget it. You’ve just had surgery and you’re in a bad mood. Get some rest. I need to head back to the office.”
Just like that he and Tracy left me alone. The sight of their retreating figures felt like a cold wind tearing through the gaping hole in my heart.
